How to securely dispose old documents?
 

I have a few shoeboxes filled with old credit card statements, vehicle insurance and maintenance records, and other stuff I don't want anybody to be sifting through. What are the easy and comfortable ways to get rid of these documents? Burning them in a grill or fireplace are not considered as options :)

I shred everything, even junk mail.

:iagree:

This is what I use:

worth every penny :thumbup:

You will need three thing:

1. Gas
2. Match
3. Open Field

:)

a shredder.


will there be tougher questions later on? :)

What I do, at least with old credit cards, is cut them up, and flush some of the pieces containing numbers down the toilet, the rest in the trash... havent had a problem yet (not even with the plumbing)

get a cross cut shredder or you could just eat them.

We toss ours in the trash...I figure if someone recovers them, they will spend less than we do. :rofl:

And, since we had our entire ID stolen a couple years ago, what's another
hit...:rolleyes:

I liked the "just eat them" suggestion.

:jk: ...though we did have our entire ID ripped.
